Crawfish

Crawfish — crawfish — crawfish — crawfish

Ah well I went to the Bayou late last night
There was an old moon
And the stars were bright
I put a big long hook on a big long pole
And I pulled Mr Crawfish outta his hole
Crawfish — crawfish — crawfish — crawfish

See I got 'em, see their size
Stripped and cleaned before your eyes

Sweet meat look... he's fresh and ready to cook
Sweet meat look... he's fresh and ready to cook

Crawfish — crawfish

Now take Mr Crawfish in your hand
Gonna look good in your frying pan
And if you fry him quick or if you boil him right
He'll look much sweeter with each itty bitty bite

Crawfish — crawfish — crawfish — crawfish

See I got 'em, see their size
Stripped and cleaned before your eyes

Sweet meat look... fresh and ready to cook
Sweet meat look... fresh and ready to cook

Crawfish — crawfish

See I got 'em, see their size
Stripped and cleaned before your eyes

Crawfish — crawfish

Whitney on the choice (BGO 2002 sleeve interview): "'King Creole' had been on the TV. I think it actually opens the film and I just thought, 'What a great song' and I thought about trying to work up an arrangement of it."
